PERSONAL DATA THAT MAY BE PROCESSED

This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers and devices used by visitors, the URI/URL (Uniform Resource Identifier/Locator) addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file received in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response provided by the server (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters relating to the user's operating system and computing environment.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING SYSTEMS. WHAT ARE THEY? WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
COOKIES
Cookies are text files that websites visited by users send to their devices and that are sent back to those websites on subsequent visits. For cookies and other tracking systems, please refer to the cookie policy in the website footer and at the
following link. For non-essential cookies and equivalent tracking technologies that require consent, processing is based on consent to the processing of personal data (Article 6(1)(a) and Recitals 42 and 43 of the GDPR). Consent is given through the banner and the cookie policy in the website footer.
TRACKING PIXELS IN EMAILS
Tools used to track or collect information about users' behaviour and how they use services, particularly in the online environment. Tracking pixels in email messages are images, often transparent and extremely small—typically just one pixel—that are not directly embedded in the email itself but are hosted on remote servers. As a rule, whenever the recipient opens an email, whether for the first time or on a subsequent occasion, HTML code included in the message automatically triggers a request to the sender's server. In response to this request, the image is downloaded by the recipient's email client (dedicated software or a browser) and stored in the memory of the data subject's device so that it can be displayed in the body of the email. To compare and, where appropriate, improve the results of automated communications, the Data Controller uses reporting systems (tracking pixels). Through tracking pixels, the Data Controller may obtain, for example: the number of readers, opens, unique clickers and clicks; the devices and operating systems used to read the communication; details of individual users' activity; and details of emails sent, delivered, undelivered and forwarded. All this data is used to compare and, where appropriate, improve the results of communications. Processing is based on consent to the processing of personal data (Article 6(1)(a) and Recitals 42 and 43 of the GDPR).
Information on the processing of personal data through social media platforms
With regard to the processing of personal data carried out by the operators of the social media platforms used by the Data Controller, please refer to the information provided by those operators in their respective privacy policies. The Data Controller processes personal data provided by users through its dedicated social media pages in order to manage interactions with users (comments, public posts, etc.) and in compliance with applicable legislation.
